Personally, I’d expand this concept to include courtesy and manners and the denigration of all 3 by the barbarians who decry them as malign. While I would not require every gathering to be guided by Emily Post’s Etiquette Guide or by Robert’s Rules of Order, nonetheless these books are compilations of centuries of good operation and to toss them out is the mark of delinquent and despoiling behavior.
Interesting how it appears that these actions appear to be the tools of the LEFT, no?
My particular peeve with all of these so-called “equal and empowered” women is the fact that they think they can do things that, for a man, would earn him a punch in the face - or worse. I had one woman two inches from my nose screaming the most vile obscenities at me in a public place over a minor dispute that could have easily been ignored by both of us. Can you imagine if I had treated her as an “equal” to me? “Oh my God! You struck a woman! Police! Police!”
In court she would have shown up in a dress and a bow in her hair and the meekest expression throughout the entire procedure. That’s my experience with today’s liberated feminists. They want to have it both ways at all times and usually get it. No wonder the MGTOW movement began...
Interesting that you broadened the concept out to include our cultural shift to an overall lack of basic good manners.
No question this absolutely is the handiwork of nefarious leftist forces bent on tearing us apart to gain the upper hand.
When we fled California in 2015 and relocated to a Red State (we’re in East Tennessee now), I couldn’t help but be struck by the difference in manners. The most striking of all is among the kids. With the SoCal adolescents, every second word is the eff word. I hated sitting near them in restaurants. I have yet to hear the eff word in public in the two years we’ve been in Tennessee.
And parents here control their children in public—huge difference. They’re not running loose all over stores and restaurants screaming like banshees.
So nice to live in a culture that places a value on manners.
